Indirectly Heating With Natural Gas

Where I live in NE PA we are in the midst of a natural gas rush. Last week one of the pipeline companies clear cut a 60x1500 foot swath through my neighbors' woods, and the nice lady that she is, told them to pile the logs up for me for firewood. I can't begin to guess how many cords we are talking about, but I think it will be years of 24/7 burning to get through it. Most of the trees aren't big enough for saw logs, but it should add up. Mostly sugar maple, some cherry, some ash.

Yes, she is a very nice neighbor. We rent her farm for making hay and she has always taken it pretty easy on us.
And yes, they are drilling and hydrofracking here, which I guess is going to have its pluses and minuses. The worst part for us so far has been the increase in traffic. We went from living on a road where you could unfold your lawn chair and take a nap in the eastbound lane, to getting about 300 tractor trailers going by at all hours, and often at 20 mph above the posted speed limit. We've had a lot of stuff run over in the last 6 months (a dog, fence, etc) and nobody has ever stopped to try to make it right.
So far our water is still good. As is my firewood supply.
